So, I took my first Zumba class today. Having heard so much about it, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Well..........the jury is still out, lol! Ok, I didn't hate it. Actually, it wasn't too bad, I'm just not a girl for taking fitness classes. Remember when step aerobics first came out and it was all the craze? Well for me its a little reminiscent of that and I've always been a little skeptical of these classes.

The instructor was great and had lots of great and high energy, but I think there's something to be said about actually seeing the number of calories I'm burning and how much time is left counting down on the machine (giggle).

I think I'm a bit partial to having a personal trainer as part of an effective workout regimen for me. Without somebody there motivating and pushing me beyond my stopping point, I can be a hopeless case.

Which do you prefer? Do you like taking fitness classes, Zumba in particular. Or are you somebody that needs a little one on one attention?

Are you in a food rut? Do you feel guilty sometimes when you're going out to dinner with friends or want some takeout, but can never find anything healthy on the menu to eat? Some times there is difficulty staying regimented with eating well, when the choices to chose from seem to make you want to kick yourself the next morning, because you blew your caloric intake.

Well, Mad As Hell, has come to the rescue and we've taken the guess work out of finding some healthy alternatives. Take a look at the list of favorites above and see if you can find a few items to keep in mind, the next time you want to splurge a bit during your next dining experience.

About Me

I am the Founder of Walking Curves™, a plus size women's walking and fitness group dedicated to the health, wellness, fitness and fun of plus size women. I'm a plus size model, a contributor on Life Size Radio, a radio show that covers many topics concerning plus size women, the Communications Director for Plus Academy Atlanta, and I'm also the new spokesperson for Plush Boutique.
I've been in the plus size industry for many years, and felt that there wasn't enough conversation being had about the fitness side of being a plus size woman. Sure, we love to dress well, keep are hair and nails done, and we certainly know how to pick out a fly stilleto, however, when it comes to working out and health related issues, we tend to look the other way (myself included). I created this blog as an outlet and a safe haven for women of a particular size that want to be inspired, encouraged, congratulated, and above all SUPPORTED!
Please join us in our quest to take a proactive role in becoming more health conscious. The goal is not to be "skinny', it is however, to be healthy. During the course of the ups and downs of this journey, you just might be "Mad As Hell at the Scale."
